Sandstone

Frank and Terry arrived at Arches National Park for their week-long camping trip. They drove their RV to their campsite and set up base camp, then immediately set out for a hike along the Devils Garden Trail. The terrain changed from sedimentary rock to sandy soil and back again as they went. Scrubby plants provided the only green in a landscape of earthy reds, oranges, and browns. Along the trail, they passed young families, international visitors, and fellow campers all there to see the same famous sandstone arches. Frank and Terry walked two miles to Landscape Arch, a long, thin formation that framed the place where the land meets the sky. Tired from the drive and the hike, Frank and Terry sat and soaked in the natural splendor around them. Eventually, the blue sky was flecked with shades of red, orange, and yellow. As Frank and Terry sat, they watched the colors of the sunset transition until they matched the color of the sandstone itself.

For more information about our yarn bases and spinning fibers, including care instructions, please visit our Yarn Bases page.

Please note that, due to the nature of hand-dyed yarn, no two skeins of yarn will be exactly alike. I recommend alternating skeins every few rows for projects using multiple skeins of the same colorway. If you order multiple skeins of the same colorway, I will do my best to select skeins that are the closest match.

I dye each skein with professional acid dyes and leave the yarn in the dye bath until the dye has exhausted before rinsing and soaking in wool wash. Minor color bleeding may occur on the first wash, especially with extremely dark colors.

Although I do my best to accurately represent each colorway in product photos, please note that the colors may vary depending on monitor and/or device settings.
